| Intro |
The concept of the 1stserve league |
You have racquet you play. The matches can take place on any
court that's in proper playing condition. You do so at your convenience
around your busy schedule or other leagues or tournaments that you may be
playing in. No need to commit a whole weekend or one particular day. You
play when you feel like it and you will always have a match during the
season. It's easy, fun, exciting, challenging and its for any tennis player,
men, women of all levels.,
|
| Step 1 |
Register your city |
It's free - You won't be able to play until you register and
fill out your playing information. Registering will allow you to evaluate
and learn how everything works and even use some of the features of the site.
You will be assigned a permanent username and password. It takes you and 7
other players in your level to activate your city, so don't hesitate, the
sooner you signup, the sooner you will play.
|
| Step 2 |
Get familiar with the league |
Click on singles league from "my
1stserve menu" court" and you
will see all of the options, read the rules, site help, experiment with the
various features and see what they do and how they work.
|
| Step 3 |
Enter your bio and profile |
It's free - This will place in the database of players,
where others will know about you, your playing history, etc. You can also
upload your picture, which will rotate on the front page of the site.
|
| Step 4 |
Get placed in the schedule.
|
$35 per season - This is how you will begin to play, no need
to worry about finding players to play, they're here and and are on your
schedule. You are guaranteed a minimum of 7 matches and all the way up to
11, depending on how you do in the playoffs. Remember it's for all levels,
from beginners to professional levels.
|
| Step 5 |
Get familiar with your schedule |
Now that you are on the schedule and are a playing member,
you will need to know about your opponents and your schedule. For half of
your matches you will be deemed the home player, meaning just like Davis
Cup, you get to choose the site and surface of the match, vise versa when
you are the away player. Your schedule will tell you everything you need to
know when you login.
|
| Step 6 |
Get familiar with your opponents |
It's time to know a little something about your opponent,
how long have they been playing, where do they play, any injuries, any
results or teams that you know about, their favorite surface, what time is
good for them to play etc. You do that by doing an active player search,
which will only be available when the system generates a schedule for you.
|
| Step 7 |
Get familiar with how to contact your
opponents |
There are 3 ways to contact your opponent, you may e-mail,
phone or use the automatic match scheduler. From my 1stserve menu, click on
contact info, you will see your opponents contact info and they will see
yours. ONLY the players that are on your schedule will be able to see your
contact info, the rest of the meaning people outside of your division will
not be able to do so. The match scheduler is also found in my 1stserve menu,
it allows you to leave a message directly to your opponent, one that they
will see when they login
|
| Step 8 |
Get familiar with entering the score |
When you login it will say welcome back followed by your
name and then your schedule will be posted. On the right side of each
scheduled match will be the enter/view scores. The only way to do this is by
trying. You basically enter each set score for you and your opponent in the
appropriate place and submit when you are done.
|
| Step 9 |
Get familiar with the standings and stats |
The standings are automatically updated the moment you enter
a score. If you play a match and your opponent entered the score before you
did, you will have to approve the score before you can enter a new result.
Make sure that his score is correct, if it's not fix it and submit the right
result. The standings will automatically be updated and will let you know if
you are in the running for the playoffs
